Could be true, but shorting at 1.22 was a silly idea.

Ashraf said to short EURUSD at 1.22 and "leave it alone". I wonder how many people did that, and I wonder how many have to courage to liquidate. Or are some of you still short?

I wont say that's completely deluded but yes pretty much in line considering and all hail to Trichet who has play a clever chess game against the rating agencies, local reserves holder and foreign, while continuing to staying well clear of the political arena. Unlike our US counter party who still think they will lead world global banks into a union.

I do expect euro to move sharply above 145 end of this year, considering we move considerately to resolve & address domestic fears/concern before US while projecting slow but consistent growth.

Speculator that's exactly what I've been asking all those past job numbers were not just adding up, it had to fault somewhere in the long run, might as well start look at it closely now.

what was your call GunJack sorry I missed that.....

EUR/AUD, EUR/NOK, EUR/SEK are just a few of the pairs that are being badly squeezed today as funds are forced to exit positions en masse. EUro at 12523.

Gold's selling

My last weeks prediction on gold short from 1242 was for the target 1185 and we did 1175 today. I'm selling again hoping asia will sell metals today and at targeting next 1165 - 1135. If it dips to that range then we may see another level for buyers in case Euro will be selling again. This will complete another H & S formation. However how Asian markets react remains to be seen. Busy day tomorrow

I believe poor US DATA today was having a negative impact on the dollar despite risk aversion. This is insufficient for the birth of a new downtrend of the dollar. it will only attract further shorts en route to dxy 90 and beyond.

Germany, France to coordinate euro support -spokesman

Some Are Blaming This Headline

The only problem is, there is next to nothing in the article on which to base the headlineOh well i guess we will definitely find out tomorrow morning.

No matter, EUR/USD is getting a short-covering lift, testing resistance at 1.2510. A break will send the wolfpack chasing after stops which remain clustered up around 1.2700 in ginormous size, I'm told.

Euro now at 12504, EYRYEN 11235 from 11286, earlier a low of 10947
